Historical changeover for Air Pacific tomorrow

Air Pacific will return to its 1958 name of Fiji Airways tomorrow.Attorney General and Minister for Tourism Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum will launch the Fiji Airways Brand this evening.

According to Air Pacific, the new identity will involve exciting changes to the customer experience, uniforms, meals and the airline’s new website.

Air Pacific said the changeover underscores the success of the airline’s turnaround plan, which started in 2010 and has culminated in reversing record losses and significantly growing passengers and revenue without increasing the size of the carrier’s fleet.

It further said that the schedule, product and service enhancements will be rolled out through the rest of 2013, along with the delivery of the third Fiji Airways A330 (and the retirement of the 747s) and by the end of the year, the turnaround and brand transition will be complete.
